dear all

i want to load balance between 5 pppoe connections. the 5 accounts logged on and had ips
and gateways. i can ping google.com from Tool - ping of ROS v3.7 on all interfaces,pings are
working very fine. but i can't have internet on the lan side.i can't figure where my problem is.

any help guys?

here are my settings:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface pppoe-client> print

thanks for any help

hi

i am wondering why msn & yahoo messenger are signing out alot when i made the load balancing
work succefully.
i changed the mtu of the pppoe client to 1376 and still signing out alot.

i tried to test the msn messenger connection it is giving a success test to the msn servers,but
i read in the msn messenger also that i am connecting to the internet through a NON-UPNP
nat restricted , although i checked the upnp in MT and still having this note.
i disabled the cache also ,same problem.
where is the problem and how can it be solved?

10x in advance

I have MTU=1480, and MRU=1492, and in mangle for all pppoe interfaces: Also, change in /ppp profile your profile option to This worked for me...

hi again

thanks for the reply . i did exactly what u told me to do , but same problem .msn & yahoo messengers still signing out every about 5 minutes.

10x in advance

hi Normis

i've been having this problem from weeks but no luck with it yet.

MSN & Yahoo messenger still signing out every couple of minutes. any solution for it?

can i bond the 5 pppoe ?? if yes how.


10x and waiting for your reply

they're signing in and out because the traffic is switching between the pppoe connections which are probably using different IP's and the messengers don't like that. VoIP won't either.

you should use per packet and not per session balance

I've tried 'adheem's description in here to load balance 5 pppoe client connections but with no luck

all the traffic is still going through one pppoe client..

what am i missing (or what is adheem missing) ?

if anyone can help .. please reply
better yet add me on msn or e-mail me : exhausters_mind at hotmail dot com.

Thanks in advance !

(**i'll kiss ur butt if u can help me make it work **)

-- using ROS 3.15 --

Lukkes : Can u provide step by step how to ?

you should use per packet and not per session balance

I respectfully disagree.

http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/3.0/ip/route.php

...ECMP routing has another good feature - single connection packets do not get reordered and therefore do not kill TCP performance.

adaheem, can you paste the /ip route export instead of the /ip route print which is harder to understand like this?

Anyway, problem seems to be that all gateways are the same: 172.16.9.1. In theory, setting a gateway interface (v3) instead of gateway IP, should solve this problem? But then we have this problem: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 53#p105553
